Universal Miniaturized Missile Data Link (UMMD)

The Universal Miniaturized Missile Data Link (UMMD) of MBDA is a fully customizable, software defined radio solution for missiles. The component enhances the capabilities of a missile system by enabling the operator to exchange information through a secure wireless communication link with the missile during engagement.

Description

UMMD is a key component for precise, reliable and cost efficient missiles. It is designed for Line-Of-Sight (LOS) and Non-Line-Of-Sight (NLOS) scenarios and enables new Man-In-The-Loop (MITL) features such as en-route recce, in-flight target update and mission abort. Its modular, small scale design facilitates the integration of the component in existing and next generation weapon systems.

For the development of the data link MBDA relies on its experience and proven excellence in Radio Frequency engineering, signal processing algorithm development and hardware implementation.
